We are thrilled with the education that our children are receiving here at St. Joseph. The teachers and staff are dedicated to providing a modern education complete with up to date technology in an atmosphere of good, old-fashioned Catholicism. It is definantly the best of both worlds. Our school has recently purchased promethium boards for all classrooms which is a luxury that most private schools cannot obtain. This was accomplished through the dedication of the parents and staff and the forward thinking of our principal. I am proud of the time spent to educate our children in the best setting available.

The technological advancements and resources available to the students surpass those of the other private schools in the area. The teachers are genuinely concerned about all students and they have a solid grasp of their subject matter and the ability to make the material come alive for students. The students are from families who are involved and will do the extra that is needed for the better of their children. A one-size-fits-all approach no longer works for everyone, @ St. Joseph the students get more adult attention and are less likely to be lost in the crowd. They can focus on subjects they really care about while still getting a grounding in the basics. A more individualized experience is what our children receive. St. Joseph s motto says it all, and they really do guide by it. With Jesus as our role model, St. Joseph Catholic Elementary School exists to educate the youth of the area spiritually, morally, academically, and socially, in a safe, Catholic, Christ-centered environment.

St. Joseph Elementary is an amazing community. My son transferred from a top 4% public school. The transition was not tough because we spend 6-8 hours/wk doing homeschooling activities. Nevertheless, his teacher, Ms. Amanda, used her planning period to bring my son up to date with all lessons the class had completed to that point. The workbooks in their curriculum are a full grade level beyond the best public school in the area. The principal and support staff nurture the children, are extremely responsive, and remind the children their families are making sacrifices because they are loved and valued. As a part time parent (divorce), knowing my son is at St. Joseph has given me THE greatest solace.
